We are all over the place in names but have started to narrow down. For a boy we like Levi Daniel. For a girl we are now leaning toward Willa Claire...but also like Miriam Brielle

My SO legit wants to have a Jr since we found out baby is a boy. I've never understood the Jr thing and I can't get on board and he's not budging. Any advice either way??
@molosmiles my husband is the II and he hated it. It came in handy for when he was deployed and he needed things like his car registration renewed b/c his dad could do it and no one batted an eye. But he's always gone by his middle name, people constantly confuse him and his dad and mix up their mail (less so now that he doesn't live in his home town) and said in general it was a pain. I actually asked if he wanted to continue the tradition when DS was born and he was adamantly opposed to it. It's worth noting I suppose that he wasn't given his father's name for some noble or family tradition reason, his parents just didn't have a boy name picked out and couldn't agree on anything else.
ETA - He said it made him feel like he was always in his dads shadow and he wanted DS to have his own name and be his own person.
@ladystout08 that's how I think it would feel. My SO is a II but he's named after his grandpa, not his dad...and it's not even the same exact name! I honestly hate the middle name so I don't even know what I would call my son. I wish he wasn't so adamant about this. He feels it is telling his son that he loves him and there is nothing he can do to change that. Maybe I can do some research to convince him. I'm sure there are plenty others like your husband. Unfortunately we know a few people that are II and we even know one that just named a V! And they all like it.
@molosmiles maybe compromise and use his FN as a MN or something? Give him part of the name? Also, I know that sometimes the III in line ends up going by Trey or something similar.
@molosmiles I fought this battle when I was pregnant with DS. I feel your pain.
DH is a third. He goes by a nickname for three because his given name (first and middle) is awful with no nickname options (plus I hate nicknames). However, he was determined that DS was going to be a fourth.
My compromise was to use DH’s first name as DS’s middle name, but he wouldn’t budge on that. We disagreed about it until literally the day DS was born.
What we we finally decided was to use DH’s first name and a middle name that started with the same initial as DH’s middle name. DS goes by the middle name. I don’t think he’s a fourth in the traditional sense, but it says IV on his birth certificate, and it was good enough for DH, so *shrugs*.
One plus of going through all that naming saga is that I have free reign to name this one.

@ladystout08@saltedcaramel518 I'm trying ladies! I said I would compromise with his first name being DS first name and a new middle name...he's not budging. I was thinking earlier that maybe he'll change his mind once DS is born, so I'm happy to hear that was the case for you, saltedcaramel. But I hate that waiting game. I'm gonna keep trying!!!
That’s tough @molosmiles. I second a lot of what has been said above, being a junior carries a lot of pressure. My family doesn’t really do juniors, but they do pass on the same first name with a different middle name. It helps with confusion and individuality. Keep working on your DH! Hopefully he will come around.

My husband is a junior and is set on this baby being a III if it's a boy. He has always liked being a junior. Him and his dad always went by different names and there has only been a couple of occasions that they've gotten comfused (like at the bank and we just provide birthdate or SSN). FIL passed away 2 and a half years ago and obviously there hasn't been as much of an issue since then.
I think the difference in this is that I am okay with the name and the baby being a III. For us it would be James Robert III and he would go by James/Jamie. James is a big family name for both of us and it makes sense.
I don't think one parent gets to automatically get 100% say on the child's name when they are both involved and especially when you're married. It took both of you to make the baby and both of you should get to place input on the name. If he's not budging then I wouldn't either until he can come to a compromise.
So we have had a girls name since BEFORE we got pregnant, and then just our luck that it IS a girl! So exciting. But our family has been pestering us about what our name is, and finally we gave in - now "people" (my sister, largely) are already butchering it on purpose and I'm wishing we just kept it to ourselves.
Maybe I'm just extra sensitive, but it's SO bothersome. Don't get me wrong, it's a mouthful. Alessandra Rosalie. But my sister keeps saying the middle name is "Rosalinda". Umm, semi culturally insensitive? Or does she think she's being funny? Not sure, but I'm not here for it.
Anyone else feel my pain?! This is exactly why I didn't want to share. I don't want people's opinions, we're going with it regardless. "If you don't have anything nice to say..."
@kianarain As I said above, DS name wasn’t chosen until he was born, but I’m team not sharing the name.
When my SIL was pregnant with my niece, DH’s family was constantly telling her they didn’t like the name she chose, she should change it, etc. (and I’ll say that I didn’t like the name either, but it wasn’t my kid to name, so..). The way they treated her sealed my decision to not share names.
Also, it drives our family bonkers, and I kind of enjoy it.

@kianarain with my DS we didn’t announce the name until he was born and told very few people beforehand mostly because I didn’t want anyone’s input! We told immediate family about a month ahead of time and I’ll never forget my MIL’s look of horror when we told her the name. We went ahead with it and everyone loves it now! When your little girl is here they will hopefully come around and quit being rude. At the end of the day it’s YOUR child and you can name her whatever you want! (Now I’m fighting another battle of my MIL insisting we get my DS hair cut but that’s another story. Lol)
@saltedcaramel518 ugh, so wish I had followed my gut and kept it private. But then there's also the side of me that wants to share updates as we go and include our family in the journey. Luckily no one has flat out said that they don't like it, just that it's long/a mouthful (we know). Taking a page out of your book next time and going the "we know, but you can't" route lol.
“I don't think one parent gets to automatically get 100% say on the child's name when they are both involved and especially when you're married.

Totally agree with this!
My BIL is a II to my FIL and I know it’s caused lots of issues for them on credit reports, etc. My husband originally wanted a JR with our first but it was a girl anyway so didn’t matter; but we did discuss it quite a bit. Now with this one he’s over the JR idea if it’s a boy, but it will still be quite the discussion over a boys name if it is a boy!!!!
@molosmiles MH is a Jr and he and his dad both go by their middle name, which is confusing in and of itself. He mentioned that he wouldn’t mind a III but I big time vetoed that. Hopefully you guys can find a compromise!
@kianarain I think families will always poke fun at whatever name you pick, at least mine does. DD2 is named Charlie and my family calls her Chuckie, Chuckles, and Charzard. I tried to fight it, but they just made it even worse. Now I just ignore it. For this baby we’re going with Miller if it’s a boy and my mom is already calling him Budweiser.
@kianarain I always told people the names we'd chosen and I tried not to let others opinions get to me. It was hard at times but those were their names and I liked the names. Everyone loves them now. Just say that name proudly and let their opinions roll off your back.
And thanks everyone! I'm sticking to my guns here. I remembered there is another person in our town with the same name as my SO and it's caused him so much trouble trying to set up insurance and utilities. And it's not a common name...we definitely don't need 3 of them in town! Especially when we know one has bad credit, lol
@molosmiles We went on a cruise with my ILs in March. Since FIL, DH, & DS all have the same first & last name, it was so confusing trying to make sure everyone was in the correct room, had the correct card assigned, etc.

We went to Disney with DH's cousin and they tried to check them into our room after we had already checked in. Pure. Chaos.
I mentioned this on my EDD check in, but thought it would be a good question for this thread too.
I've been pretty set on James Edward (after our grandfathers), but DH was hesitating. This weekend he confirmed he's ok with James (my grandfather's name), but isn't sure about Edward because it's also the middle name of one of his other close relatives that he has some major (justified) issues with.
I suggested that his grandfather might deserve a namesake that isn't this other relative, but will defer to DH if he isn't comfortable using that name. If that ends up being the case... does anyone have suggestions for other middle names that would go well with James?
I did give a hard no to DH's (joking) suggestion of John as the middle name, because like hell will our son be Jimmy John lol.

I love James Are there any other family names that would be meaningful as a middle name? James Isaac was the first that came to mind. James Hudson, James Parker, James Michael, James Henry, James Ryan.
Ive low key got the opposite problem. I don’t think I’d ever do a junior but I love an unconventional nickname of my husbands name (think poppy and Penelope, but for boys). As much as I would love to use that nickname for the new babe, I can’t imagine doing a junior (and giving MIL that pleasure). Not sure if the nickname would stand alone.
I ditto everyone telling you to hold your ground @molosmiles - the way we did names was like veto rights. Maybe we both won’t end up w a name we like equally but if one of us really doesn’t like it then that won’t work. There’s a diff between compromising and being steamrolled.
@Potterphile Is there any other traditional name that could be used as a basis for the nickname you like? Like how "Ted" could be a nn for Edward or Theodore?
@Potterphile LOL @ your MIL comment. When we told my ILs that I'm pregnant, She said, "Oh, if it's a girl, you should name her Scarlett." Which is the name we're planning on using for a girl (it's a family name on my side), but my immediate thought was, "Dang it! Now we can't use that name."

So this baby has been nicknamed LG, short for Lady Gunsmoke. When I was pregnant with DS, Gunsmoke was the only "suggestion" DH had. So then he started telling DS we'd name the baby Gunsmoke and then it evolved to Lady Gunsmoke when we found out she was a girl. So now I'm thinking of names for LG initials and my current favorite is Lorelei Georgia.
I love baby names...and these suggestions make me happy. We've settled on Easton Lyle for a boy...but for a girl we like Aniston Grace. My DH REALLY likes this name. I also liked Elliana Grace (my mom had a very long Spanish name that I would not reuse, but ended in -ana and Amazing Grace was her favorite song). Both are a nod to my mom....we would probably nn her Anna if she's Aniston just as a pet name, and the same for Elliana. I'm just torn on both of them. I like them equally.
Oh, SN: don't ask for advice on the baby name board on here. They're brutal. LOL

My husband and I both have 5 names, lol. So DS is also going to have 5 names, yes a little overkill, but we are excited. Right now the only name we can agree on is Augustus calling him Augy or Gus. The other few names that we haven't veto'd yet are: Arthur, Asher, and Fredrick. Going more traditional but with names we aren't hearing every other minute.
Anyone know a Victoria with a nickname other than Tori, Vic, or Vicki? I HATE all of those, but love Victoria. Victoria was our girl name with DS but we almost exclusively call our kids by their nicknames, not their full names, so we're having a hard time pulling the trigger on it. We both agree on Josephine which has lots of nicknames we love, but something keeps pulling me back to Victoria.

@tosh24 I have a friend named Victoria who goes by Vix.
@mamalovestacos I LOVE Augustus! Especially the nn Gus. It was on our short list for a boy along with Magnus (also nn Gus). Your other name choices are awesome too.
We keep going back and forth on a name for this baby girl, but I think we have settled on Philomena nn Mina or Lila as a first name. Middle name is still in debates. It’s DH’s confirmation saint and she is the patron of impossible causes. Considering we were told a viable pregnancy was impossible for us, it seems fitting.

What if you use Victoria as the middle name? Josephine Victoria? Or only call her Victoria and see what nn comes about/fits her. Sometimes family nn have nothing to do with the actual name. Only nn I can think of are V, Rory, and apparently in Russia the nn is Vika.
Thanks for the suggestions, ladies!!! I have thought about doing Josephine Victoria which I really do like, but still want to talk with DH about Victoria as a first name again before giving up on it for good. I did a quick Google search and there are some more unconventional nickames for Victoria that I like. Both are Italian in origin which I like because that is my heritage but DH wouldn't let me use Italian first names because his last name is as British as it gets and he thought the combo sounded weird. Victoria in Italian is Vittoria, and the two nn are Vita (meaning "life") and Via (meaning "road" or "path"). I really like Via because it has been a looooong road to get where we are so it seems fitting. Don't think DH will go for either but we'll see.

You have just given me a beautiful mn to consider if Victoria is chosen as the first name (if Victoria's not the fn, I'll use it as the mn because we always do two mn - one from my side and one from DH's side - and Victoria is actually the saint I chose for my own confirmation ) Thanks for sharing!

@molosmiles my husband is a Jr and hates it. He just went through a whole process of rolling over an old 401k and it was super annoying because one account had Jr. listed on it but the other didn't so it was really hard for him to prove he was the same person.
I've definitely gotten pressure from the in-laws though. When we told them we were having a boy they were like "well obviously his name has to be James." Luckily my husband is very adamant against family names, so hopefully they drop it.
We've officially decided on Samson Foster and have ordered an expensive name sign to hang in his nursery. Hopefully that will keep people from demanding we change it, but that could be wishful thinking.
@AshVA the nickname is Kit so ... probably not lol but fair suggestion. Doubt my husband would go for the name or nickname anyways. He won’t even get serious about it until we get to the end if it’s anything like last time. Annoying because I’d like to ... you know...PLAN.
OK can I get some last name opinions. DH and I each kept our names. Both of our mothers are from families with all girls, meaning no one our generation or younger has either of our mother's maiden names. So, we are thinking of giving this kid one of our mother's maiden names (and a second kid, if that happens, the other one's maiden name). Is this just too much? I feel like the idea that parents and kids have different last names is normalized now, so not worried about interacting with school/doctors etc., and none of us (well, DH and I) aren't offended when someone calls either of us by the wrong last name, so hopefully the kid wouldn't be either. But honestly is it too much?
@Kabazaba Both of my daughters have different last names than I do, and I've never had an issue with that. But I do know it is hard on DD1, she's 9 and her dad isn't involved in her life. She thinks her last name is pretty but doesn't want to be the only one with a different last name if SO and I get married. It might be strange for the child to understand why you all have different last names or it might not bother them at all. I do wish I had given my DD1 my last name so she wouldn't feel this way about her last name now. It seems like a silly thing but I think names connect us to our family. Plus I don't know what to call our family, we can't say 'the Smith' family. But I suppose you already have that issue, lol.

@mamalovestacos I LOVE Augustus! Especially the nn Gus. It was on our short list for a boy along with Magnus (also nn Gus). Your other name choices are awesome too.
We keep going back and forth on a name for this baby girl, but I think we have settled on Philomena nn Mina or Lila as a first name. Middle name is still in debates. It’s DH’s confirmation saint and she is the patron of impossible causes. Considering we were told a viable pregnancy was impossible for us, it seems fitting.
BFP April 24, 2018 | EDD December 29, 2018
What if you use Victoria as the middle name? Josephine Victoria? Or only call her Victoria and see what nn comes about/fits her. Sometimes family nn have nothing to do with the actual name. Only nn I can think of are V, Rory, and apparently in Russia the nn is Vika.

@molosmiles my husband is a Jr and hates it. He just went through a whole process of rolling over an old 401k and it was super annoying because one account had Jr. listed on it but the other didn't so it was really hard for him to prove he was the same person.
I've definitely gotten pressure from the in-laws though. When we told them we were having a boy they were like "well obviously his name has to be James." Luckily my husband is very adamant against family names, so hopefully they drop it.
We've officially decided on Samson Foster and have ordered an expensive name sign to hang in his nursery. Hopefully that will keep people from demanding we change it, but that could be wishful thinking.
